Netherlands captain Wesley Sneijder confessed his disappointment after his side were beaten 2-1 at home by Greece in the final friendly before their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign kicks off.
Though the Dutch led through Georginio Wijnaldum's scrappy opener, goals from Kostas Mitroglou and Giannis Gianniotas turned the game on its head.
"This is hard," he told SBS6. "You want to take a good feeling to leave for Sweden.
"You know that the match against Greece is not for qualifying, but for the confidence.
"In both the first half and the second half we started well. After leading 1-0 we should have anticipated [a Greece response]. We have failed. Then we gave it away."
